Abstract
For nearly 20 years, evidence has been accumulating that behavior therapy can be integrated with psychotherapy to create a powerful treatment regimen for troubled individuals (Goldfried & Castonguay, 1992; Beitman, Goldfried, & Norcross, 1989; London & Palmer, 1988; Marmor & Woods, 1980). The past decade has witnessed a growing eclectic orientation among mental health practitioners and efforts toward theoretical integration by psychotherapy researchers (Garfield & Bergin, 1986). During this period an interdisciplinary group of mental health practitioners and clinical researchers formed an organization for eclectically oriented clinicians: the Society for the Exploration of Psychotherapy Integration. Their Journal of Psychotherapy Integration is now over 10 years old and serves as a forum for those using multimodal therapies.
